Did you know? Leeuwarden

Leeuwarden was the capital of European Culture in 2018, the first Dutch city to receive this honour.

The city is the birthplace of Mata Hari, the famous (and controversial) dancer and alleged spy of World War I.

Leeuwarden sits in Friesland, where the local Frisian language is co-official with Dutch, and you'll see bilingual street signs throughout.

The city is built on three artificial dwelling mounds called terpen, raising it above sea level—a medieval engineering feat against flooding.

Leeuwarden is surrounded by the Frisian Lakes, making it a hub for water sports and sailing holidays in summer.

The historic city centre features over 100 listed monuments within walking distance, including the 16th-century Oldehove tower.
